Or just eat and avoid all the aggravation of deciding whether it's "clean" or "healthy" or any of the other buzz words bouncing around.0

I like arugula with my leafy greens, and I'm picky on lettuce as some of it is as nutritionally-dense as the cardboard it's shipped in (ie: iceberg).
I personally group cherries with berries due to their similarity in antioxidant levels and glycemic index... but there still there so it's all good
I also like free-range hormone-free beef, pork and chicken - which for some are hard to find. And eggs. Love my eggs.
Edit: Oh - I didn't see much in the way of oils... I don't know about you, but I prefer mine as natural (ie: unrefined) as possible, so things like coconut and red palm oil (great medium-chain triglycerides) and naturally cold-pressed olive oil, etc.0 -
My ultimate diet would be ice cream, cheesecake, cookies, and lobster! :drinker: lol0
-
Why you hating on steak, man?
What's wrong with oats?
You are missing ton in the seafood category: shrimp, clams, halibut, tialpia, steelhead, seabass, crab, etc.0 -
You also missed bacon :noway:
and cookies and ice cream for the matter :glasses:0 -

I added argula and oils that I use occasionally. Thanks for the tips. I'll put beef and pork on there too.0 -

It's kind of funny that you mention that you like arugula and then go on to mention how low in nutrients iceberg lettuce is, since arugula and iceberg are actually pretty close in terms of nutrients. To compare (info from the USDA nutrient database):
One cup of raw arugula has .5 g protein, .3 mg iron, 16% DV of vitamin A, 3% of vitamin C, and 18% DV vitamin K
One cup iceberg lettuce has .6 g protein, .3 mg iron, 12% DV of vitamin A, 2% DV of vitamin C, and 14% DV of vitamin K
Obviously go ahead and keep eating arugula if you like it - I just found this out recently and it was a big surprise to me, so I figured I'd share.
OP - I assume you're avoiding wheat products due to some sort of gluten intolerance, based on your note on tamari, but I'm not sure why you're avoiding shellfish (unless you're allergic?). Shrimp are great! Also, if you like salmon and trout, you'd probably enjoy arctic char - it's somewhere between the two, flavour-wise.0 -

I'm not gluten intolerant, I just don't eat many grains and no bread. Shellfish is expensive so I didn't list it. I was eating shrimp but it was all farmed vs wild.0 -

I realize palm sugar and palm oils are good for you but make sure they are ethically sourced, the Orangutan is now on the endangered list due to the monocropping of palm sure where their habitat use to be.0 -

I'd rather have an elk or bison steak than beef. I'm not a fan of oats, the seed grains I listed taste better to me. I can't afford most of the seafood. But I'll take a dozen of those cookies if I can get healthy. also no bacon because the high quality stuff is too expensive and I'm trying to eat a mostly raw diet.0 -
My ultimate diet is (not would be, is) a bar of chocolate and a crapton of coffee a day.
Oh, how I love being me.0 -

I got fat on a pizza and as many chocolate bars I can eat diet. I still eat raw chocolate. I just had homemade chocolate almond milk. Coffee is alright I just don't really need it .0 -

I have 20/20 vision when I wear my glasses. :-P
I avoid certain foods for medical reasons, myself, but apart from those things I enjoy whatever I'd like to eat as long as it's more or less within my macros. Wouldn't it be easier on yourself to try to sum up your dietary guidelines in a more general way than to try to regulate every little detail? Is it realistic to adhere 100% to something so regulated?0 -
It looks perfect to me!
And for those who are questioning your choices - some of us have medical issues - be it allergies, intolerances, etc., that prevent us from eating certain things. I can't eat dairy, I need to avoid all nightshades, nuts, and seeds. And, I shouldn't eat too much protein.0 -
Add lentils0

I don't have a problem with it. I know a lot of people would. It's all about the choices in the grocery store or online. If I eat out I try to eat as good as I can. I'm perfectly happy eating pistachios, drinking homemade chocolate almond milk, or a can of sardines etc. Those are like desserts to me.0 -

Thanks. Avoiding all nuts and seeds must be a pain! Those are some of my favorite foods.0 -

Naturally cured bacon from your butcher is much less-scary, imho, though no real scientific evidence concludes such.
I'm not a fan of cookies (too much refined carbohydrate for this diabetic) but I LOVE ice cream - full fat with lower sugar and topped with real whipped cream and maybe some shaved 85% or higher dark chocolate, thank you very much.0
